Phishing affected 38% of UK businesses in the 2025/26 government survey. The NCSC also retired Mail Check and Web Check in March 2026, increasing the need for properly scoped commercial alternatives.

Four focused routes

A commercial service range built around outcomes.

Free checks and assessments qualify the work. Limited paid pilots are proposed individually until supplier costs, delivery time and support are proven.

Domain Shield

Start with a free public email-authentication, DNS and registration snapshot, then join the managed-monitoring waitlist if ongoing oversight looks worthwhile.

Best first step when email trust, configuration drift or domain continuity is the concern.Request the free check

The founding-pilot model

Careful enough for security work. Lean enough to reach revenue.

The first customers are manually accepted pilots. This lets us prove delivery, margin and recurring value before automating a process that still depends on judgement.

01
Qualify

Confirm the business, authority, problem, deadline and whether the work is within scope.

02
Scope

Issue a written proposal covering deliverables, limits, supplier dependencies and price.

03
Approve & invoice

Signed terms and verified payment come before onboarding or supplier activation.

04
Deliver & review

Evidence, recommendations and every material change receive the right human approval.

What agents can assist with

During an agreed pilot: qualification, evidence organisation, reminders, draft policies, first-pass analysis and report preparation.

What still needs approval

DNS or device changes, compliance conclusions, certification, refunds, incidents, legal decisions and any action that can interrupt a customer's systems.

Best first move

Start with the outside of your business.
